The Circus Museum at the Big "E"
The Circus Museum at the Big "E" is a permanent facility with a full 1/4" scale layout of the old Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey show and many showcases with a 3/4" scale parade, acts, the Midway, cookhouse, and the train loading. This showcase is for Dave Merrifield's trapeze under a Helicopter routine.
I performed from 1973 to 1995 with a couple years off in between. I did an aerial cradle act for three years, low wire as a clown, trained llamas, ponies, then lions and tigers for 15 years. I am now a firefighter, a member of the Circus Historical Society and an author of several circus and carnival related subjects.
